KNYSNA NEWS - Let's face it: a bit of rain does little to deter Knysna's diehard parkrunners, who turn up every Saturday for their weekly dose of fresh air and exercise.
With rain threatening again on Saturday 7 November, 115 runners and walkers completed the 5km course.
There were 11 personal bests (PBs) among the participants, but the highlight of the morning belonged to Robbie Wilkinson, who celebrated his 350th parkrun. Endre Sparkes also reached an impressive milestone, completing his 200th parkrun.
Huradin Rashed was named parkrunner of the month for October.
Simon Jackson led the field, crossing the finish line in a personal best time of 16:07. Rick Matter followed in second place in 17:26, with Awonke Komani taking third in 18:57.
Claire Schipholt was the first woman to cross the finish line in 25:27.
Behind the scenes, 14 dedicated volunteers helped ensure another smooth and well-organised parkrun.
